True, building a better heat shield might be more better

You're completely right about it having little to no benefits for traditional style

Ah, my bad, I was assuming stock intake...

I used this bumper duct I found on amazon. It's way cheaper than the other similar ducts and worked perfect with the spectre intake duct, andthe angle was perfect. fit like a glove right in the area behind the grill location used for the new mission ram air mod.http://www.amazon.com/BB7009-Plastic.../dp/B005FGQLU2.
Perfect affordable solution. Let me know if anyone has a problem with the link.

Increase in performance? Meh, I have my doubts.

I'll upload a sound clip tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it won't be a good representation.

I don't really see it doing much more than 1-2 hp at the most. I just like playing with my car.
